Hello Michael,
I've finally found another way to install the Debian Woody on my PC via the network,
using the PXE protocol (with syslinux package...), but I'm interested in the first
way and I tried your instructions ; I've built a raw tftimage with mknbi like :
mknbi-linux --output=tftpimage.compact.raw --ip=dhcp \
../linux.compact.bin ../root.compact.bin
[ I've put the --ip option after looking at the mknbi-linux' man page, but it's useless in my case... ]
and prepared it for MBA with :
imggen -a tftpimage.compact.raw tftpimage.compact.3com
When I boot on LAN, the DHCP find the IP address, then uses TFTP to load
the boot image 'tftpimage.compact.3com', and then it fails with the following message :
mknbi-1.2-7/first32.c (GPL)
Bad argument
Error: Bad Base Code image
I've tried to look at the source of mknbi, but I didn't find any clue,
as I don't know how it works...
If you have an idea...
regards,
Fred.
